XXXVIII CICLO | Cassola Giampiero

Giampiero graduated with honors in Law from the University of Florence, specializing in Administrative Law. Since January 1, 2023, he has been a PhD student at the University of Tuscia, where he works on land take limitations. His research interests are in administrative law, with a focus on environmental law and urban law. He also shows a keen interest in immigration law and is a member of the Academy of Law and Migration (ADiM), coordinated by his doctoral advisor, Prof. Mario Savino.

His doctoral research is set within the regulatory framework of the European Green Deal and aims to investigate the “No Net Land Take by 2050” goal from a legal perspective. The problem of land take is mainly related to the political-administrative discretion of municipalities in exercising their urban planning power. In order to limit the discretion of municipalities, it is necessary to act on three axes. Firstly, it is necessary to examine regional spatial government regulations in order to identify models and forms to limit land take. Secondly, it is necessary to investigate the town planning model in order to verify which corrective measures are needed to limit land take. Thirdly, it is necessary to strengthen the legitimacy of appeals to protect the interest in limiting land take, with particular attention to the role played by recognised environmental associations.
